NORTH VALLEYS 3 INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

New traffic signal at the intersection of N. Virginia and Lemmon Drive

The project will involve pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction on State Street from Virginia Street to Sinclair Street, First Street from Center Street to Lake Street, and Lake Street from the southern approach of the Truckee River bridge to First Street.

For the safety of you and your vehicle, parking on the street will be prohibited within the construction zones from 7am-6pm.

Access will be maintained to businesses for the duration of the project; however, we will coordinate driveway closures individually as business accesses are being reconstructed.
